Check Out This Exclusive Song Premiere From the New Band You'll Love: the Wind and the Wave

When Dwight Baker and Patricia Lynn of the Austin-based indie-folk-rock band the Wind and the Wave stopped by our office last week, I knew they were something special. It wasn't just because of the noticeably hulking height difference between the two, or their ability to shoot the sh-t over seemingly any conversation topic. But when I saw the two croon away on the stage of New York City's Mercury Lounge later that day, I realized the Wind and the Wave was exactly what I wanted to hear. They're emotional, easy to rock out to in your bedroom with a hairbrush, and the ideal road-trip soundtrack. Like a peppier version of the Civil Wars, the Wind and the Wave made a splash at South by Southwest and their music truly hits a nerve.

Before their debut album, From the Wreckage, comes out this summer, check out an exclusive premiere of their song "My Mama Said Be Careful Where You Lay Your Head." "This was the song that set the tone lyrically for me on a group of songs that eventually became our debut album. The first verse was where I decided I was going to write about very personal, real-life things and tell my story without censorship, which wasn't always the easiest thing," says Patricia. And Dwight agrees: "When we finished this track, it was the first moment I knew we had something special."
